JUNKYARD DOG "THUD" CHARACTER SKETCHES

Designing a cute animal

I really struggled with this latest post for 2 reasons:

1. I don't know animals that well.  So I tried dogs, bunnies, pigs.

2. I was concentrating so hard on trying to make it mechanical that it lost it's character and I find it hard to make something cute that is mechanical.

I'd really love some critique on how to push these.

I did one which I think is "ok" which is the dog design at the bottom.  I suppose pushing to incorporate shapes, character, AND make it mechanical feeling was tough.  But, hey, 1 day i'm happy with the results.

Great Video: Pascal Campion

I like what Pascal has to say about finding the emotion in his artwork and telling a story.  It's great to be an amazing draftsman, but I believe you need to connect with your audience to transcend the ideas and statements you have to say into the minds of your viewers.  He also makes a good point about showing your work, as that is when you define finished!
